Welcome to the Groupsite for Greenroofing.
This networking platform is an excellent way for other designers and installers to share their knowledge about vegetated roofing systems, living walls, and stormwater harvesting systems. We will add a posting every week about experiences we have encountered in the field and provide educational materials and insight to those who are collecting research on the benefits of these systems.

Headlines and Links
Their are some pretty cool pictures in this article....I especially like the Telebelt that they used to get growing media and plants to the roof. This is a good tool for projects that are 4 stories or less and has a reach of 105 ft., and it was supplied by Brundage, Bone and Blanchet. Very Cool!
